She was taking one of her late night walks through the woods, and there he
was.Her beautiful boy.He stretched out his arms and she fell into them.
"I'm so sorry!" She sobbed "I didn't mean for this to happen."
She cried for what seemed like hours in his arms. She cumpled to the ground, her body racked with grief. Even his arms weren't enough to support her now.Because now he was as she knew he had been all along.A ghost. She grabbed for his hand.
"Please forgive me." She cried "Please."
She looked up at him, her vision blurred by the tears.His face had taken on a hateful mask.
"Forgive you!Forgive you!You killed me you wretched whore!" He bellowed at her then with one final sneer he disappeared.
Celeste tossed and turned then shot up. It took a few minutes for everything to register. It had all been a dream.
'But it's true," She told herself 'You did kill him.From the moment you looked at him he was dead and you know it.'
She sighed and fell back down onto her pillows. They were wet to the touch from her tears.
'You deserve the pain.' A voice in her head mocked her
Her nightgown was soaked with a cold sweat. As she allowed her memories to come flooding back tears threatened to spill over.
FLASHBACK
She was walking through downtown London when she first saw him. He was handing out flyers for his brothers band, who was playing at a local club that night. Celeste had always had a certain facination with muggles, but being from a wizarding family who hated muggles she wasn't allowed to form bonds with any of them. But this boy looked intresting .
"What have you got there?" Celeste asked him
"Flyers for a band." He said sounding none to interested
"Your band?" she asked He forced a laughed "No, my brothers. I have no intrest in playing."
"Well what do you have an intrest in?" She questioned him
This time he gave her a genuine laugh "You know it's not often a cute girl just comes up and strikes a conversation with me."
"Well perhaps you would like to strike up another one tonight." She said cocking her head to one said and smiling.
He smiled back at her "Are you asking me out?"
"Possibly."
"Well if so then yes."
"Well then yes I am asking."
"This is certainly a day of firsts for me." He chuckled "I'll meet you say? Seven? At the club."
She took the flyer he offered her and started to walk away, then relising she didn't know his name she turned around. But he was gone. She shook her head and continued walking.
END OF FLASHBACK
As she thought about that first day the tears fell freely. 'Why did I have to talk to him? He could be happy right now. He could have a love that actually deserved him. But most of all he could be alive if it wasn't for me!'
That last sentenced repeated itself in her head as the next memory came to her.
FLASHBACK
"Celeste!" He called obviously happy to see her.But then again he always acted happy to see her. Like she was a birthday present he had been waiting for, for a long time.
He ran up to her and flung his arms around her waist picking her up off the ground and spinning her around.
"Bryan!" She squealed "Put me down!"
"Okay if you insist," He said "You are a siren, you have no concience."
"Bryan!" She said slapping him playfully
"What?" He asked while grinning cheekily at her "You told me to put you down."
She shook her head "What's this thing you couldn't wait till my Christmas to give me?"
"Oh yeah, Hold on." He said while disappearing into another room then reappearing with a white kitten in his arms.
"Ooooh" She giggled like a little school girl "Is it a girl?"
"Yep." He said obviously proud of himself
"She's beautiful." She looked up at him "Oh Bryan thank you." She said then flung her arms round his neck and planted a kiss on his lips.
END OF FLASHBACK
She now she was sobbing into her pillow.Awakened by the sound of her cries her brother had come into her room and was now holding her rocking her back and forth .
"Shhhh, it's okay." He whispered to her
"No!No it's not! It will never be okay!" She told him "It's all my fault!"
"No Cel, It's not." He said soothingly "You had no choice.They would've killed you too."
"I'm so sorry!" She sobbed "I didn't mean for this to happen."
She cried for what seemed like hours in his arms. She cumpled to the ground, her body racked with grief. Even his arms weren't enough to support her now.Because now he was as she knew he had been all along.A ghost. She grabbed for his hand.
